When Melody was given a spoon and a serving of lime sorbet, she did not know how to begin telling them about what happened.
"How does the lime sorbet taste? I put a lot of effort into making it."
"Really? Let me try it!" Melody hastily took a slice and savored its sweetness before swallowing. "It is delicious! Your cooking is always the best!"
Cedric enjoyed his serving of lime sorbet too, but Beatrice served him a very small portion out of concern for his blood sugar.
"I'm glad you enjoy it. It makes all the trouble worth it! How about I have someone bring you lunch to the set later in the afternoon?"
Melody's hand paused as she stirred the sorbet. "I might not go to the set this afternoon. There's been an incident."
"Oh?" Beatrice promptly set down her spoon. "Did someone bully you again? You need to tell us if that's the case!"
Melody felt a surge of warmth in her heart. Beatrice and Cedric had provided her with the care and affection she never once received. "No, no one troubled me. It was just a misunderstanding between myself and Lucas."
"Even if your grandfather and I don't really pay much attention to what's happening, we do hear bits and pieces of this sort of news. As much as we try to avoid it, there will always be people making sure that we hear about it. We know what happened," Beatrice reassured Melody and patted the back of her hand.
As Melody feared, there were people who were aware of her relationship with the Riveras and coveted her position. As a result, they tried to pass on such messages to the old couple in the hopes to create a chance for themselves. Fortunately, Beatrice despised such wrongdoing.
"These people must think that we're senile. Even if you are having an affair with one of the male actors, would you show it so blatantly in front of other crew members? We might be old, but we're still very much aware of how the internet works.
"The relationship between you and that other actor is nothing more than hype, am I right? The publicity can boost the viewership of your movie. It's just a way to engage the audience. We know it."

The readers' comments on the novel: The Day I Kissed An Older Man
This book is a good book, but it’s too short. I hope it has a part two👍🏾...
This book is getting boring now. I loved Jeremy, Corinne, Sonny and Lucas. The story needs to end. or bring back more of Jeremy, etc....
I haven't skipped any chapter at all. Though the story is good, it keeps going back to base one. I think this has no ending at all and somehow after reading more than 2500 chapters it's kinda tiring already. They have drained all the thrills....
Great writing! I almost cried when Helen hit Melody! So sad! 😭 can’t wait to see how the relationship with her and Lucas develops though. So tired of the repetitive problems with different people....
Yikes my body tenses so much, my moods change as the scenes change. It leaves me wanting to continue reading....
my heart breaks for melody, so many ups and downs, i shed a few tears when lucas walked by melody carrying thalia, and melody stayed quiet while watching them leave. i find myself getting into character as if im one. i dont remember ever feeling like that in any other books. im thankful the 10 chapters/day. waiting for the next 10...
We have updated progress from 7 chapters/day to 10 chapters/day.<3...
i love grandma Beatrice, there needs to me more people like her in the world straight forward and to the point, no beating around the bush and worrying about offending anyone, why pretend to be someone your not....
looking forward to more chapters, The same thing is happening to Melody as what happened to Luna, if Luna was back maybe she would set Lucas straight, can't wait to see how Lucas handles the situations that will arrive. Poor Melody....
ya Lucas pay more attention to Melody lets see what happens waiting for more chapters thanks...
